A grain filler (pore filler or paste wood filler) is a woodworking product that is used to achieve a smooth-textured wood finish by filling pores in the wood grain. It is used particularly on open grained woods such as oak , mahogany and walnut where building up multiple layers of standard wood finish is ineffective or impractical.
Wood flour is commonly used as a filler in thermosetting resins such as bakelite, and in linoleum floor coverings. Wood flour is also the main ingredient in wood/plastic composite building products such as decks and roofs. Prior to 1920, wood flour was used as the filler in ¼-inch thick Edison Diamond Discs. [18]
Certain types of charcoal, such as wood charcoal, are used for reducing heated metallic oxides to their respective metals: [citation needed] ZnO + C → Zn + CO; Fe 2 O 3 + 3C → 2Fe + 3CO; Charcoal can also be used to reduce super heated steam to hydrogen (along with the formation of carbon monoxide): [citation needed]
Wood gas is a fuel gas that can be used for furnaces, stoves, and vehicles. During the production process, biomass or related carbon-containing materials are gasified within the oxygen-limited environment of a wood gas generator to produce a combustible mixture.
A charcoal burner tending his charcoal clamp, in which he is producing charcoal. The process takes days, and the clamp has to be monitored to stop the fire from breaking out (technically, the oxygen from breaking in).

The use of wood as a fuel source for heating is much older than civilization and is assumed to have been used by Neanderthals. Today, burning of wood is the largest use of energy derived from a solid fuel biomass. Wood fuel can be used for cooking and heating, and occasionally for fueling steam engines and steam turbines that generate electricity.
